Lago Trasimeno (10km away) is the fourth largest lake in Italy with 10 exceptionally clean public beaches, four public swimming pools, and nearby facilities for sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, horse riding, golf, tennis, archery and biking, including mountain bikes. The beautiful undulating countryside is perfect for walking.
A ferry from the nearby town of Castiglione del Lago takes you to the island of Isola Maggiore, famous for its lace-making.
In a journey of less than two hours by car you can see some 20 per cent of the world's artistic heritage and explore and experience Etruscan, Mediaeval and Renaissance towns including Castiglione del Lago (voted one of the most beautiful towns in Italy), Paciano (winner of the EU 'perfect village' competition) Chianciano Terme with its thermal baths, and Deruta (famous for its ceramics). Gubbio, Orvieto, Siena, Florence and Rome only start a list that goes on and on.
